£1.2MILLION INVESTMENT IN COMMUNAL AREAS WILL HELP KEEP YOU SAFE!
A £1.2MILLION investment in communal areas will help make sure your homes remain ‘fire safe’.
We’re continuing to ‘Look after your home’ and ‘Care about your safety’ as part of our Customer Commitment to people living in bu i ldings with communal areas.
Where you share entrances, hallways and other communal areas with fellow residents, you’ll be seeing improvements to you r entrance doors and fire safety facilities.
In 2025/26, we’re investing £740,000 on internal communal fire doors, £180,000 on new communal en trance doors and door entry systems, and £8 2,000 in flat entrance fire doors to help keep you safe – with more still to be confirmed.
“We’re very pleased to be providing such an upgrade to fire safety and communal entrance facilities to buildings,” Andrew Gerrard, Muir’s Senior Fire Officer said.
“ It’ll help make sure you remain safe in your homes and give you an enhanced customer experience.
“Your safety is hugely important to us and upgrading security and fire safety facilities shows how committed we are to maintaining your communal areas . ”
Not only do the new doors enhance safety, but they look fresh too, improving the look and feel of communal buildings to ensure you live in places you can be proud of.
